Sempe captures France with his pen

Wonderful drawings that give a glimpse of French culture! Makes a wonderful gift for a Francophile.

Delightful!

I am acquiring quite a collection of Sempe books, and this one really showcases his versatility. Color or black-and-white, utterly simple or nearly requiring a magnifying glass, each drawing is a little vignette of French life (traditional or modern) in which the artist's genuine fondness for his subjects really shines through. His economy of line, excellent use of white space, wealth of detail and sense of humor make these pictures that repay careful attention and give great pleasure to the viewer. You will enjoy this book if you have ever been to France or just wish to go, and if you enjoy detailed but light-hearted art.
